Mills County declares aging 140G CAT surplus and approves salvage of burned 12G maintainer
Summary
Commissioners declared a 1986 140G CAT maintainer surplus to allow trade toward a new maintainer and approved salvaging a burned 12G maintainer; the court discussed trade offers, insurance payout and disposal options.
On March 23 the Mills County Commissioners Court declared an older 1986 140G CAT maintainer surplus and approved a salvage plan for a separate burned 12G maintainer.
Commissioner Horton explained that the county received an offer of roughly $30,000 toward a new maintainer if the court took the 140G CAT as trade; commissioners discussed hours (about 8,800 hours) and condition before approving the surplus designation by voice vote. Commissioner Horton moved to declare the 140G CAT surplus; Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion.
Separately, commissioners reviewed a burned 12G maintainer that had been declared a total loss and for which the county received about $63,000 in insurance proceeds. County Attorney Bill Malone outlined disposal options—trash, salvage for parts/scrap value, or surplus if usable—and commissioners approved treating the burned 12G as salvage so usable parts could be recovered. The court instructed staff to follow legal procedures for salvage and any sale or removal of parts.
Both actions were approved by voice vote; no sale or trade was finalized during the meeting.
